I suppose it's theoretically possible to overstate the quality of this album, but only by saying something like, "This album is better than God. And air." In contrast with his work leading the Malian institution the Super Rail Band, Mr. Tounkara plays acoustic guitar on this record, which from the first track's dizzying intro to the last chord of the last track serves many flavors, all delicious. I am privileged to have twice seen the Rail Band in concert, however I missed Mr. Tounkara's stop in Minneapolis last November. My stomach stirs in anguish at this thought. Buy this album, listen to it over and over, and proceed to buy me a thank-you gift.

I had a chance to listen to this many times at my local shop and I must say don't hesitate to purchase this cd it's good, very good actually. The guitar is clear, unstoppable once Djelimady puts his strong hands on it. The most appealing thing to me about this cd is the guitar, the lyrics(vocals)are great even though the man himself is not the leading vocalist. Some of the tracks have an AfroSpanish feel to it U could swear that Djelimady once had a Spanish guitar teacher. U can actually feel the variety within the songs each with its own sound though I must be honest on first listen I thought the songs sound the same but as I listened more, well I was hooked. I listened to B.Traore' & I must say Djelimady has an upper hand to him i.e Djelimady sounds better than Troare'(Apologies to Troare')Overall? this is a great cd it has a rooty feel, bluesy,AfroSpanish,but at the end of it all its an African Malian music at its best.
